Stacking the Shelves (#241)


Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews, in which bloggers share the books and swag they've received in the past week!


So, what did I get in the week of Sunday, July 30th to Saturday, August 5th?


(all links to Goodreads are provided!)


In the mail:



Such lovely books from HMH Teen! Thank you! Vengeance Road and Ever the Hunted were amazing.



This is so gorgeous! The letter from Laini is especially lovely. I'd not read this novella in ebook format so I'm excited to have the opportunity to do so now! Thank you, LB/Novl!





I bought this book for Eileen but I thought I'd show it off since it is beautiful! One day I will binge-read this series. 



Huge thanks to Tor Teen, Random House, and LB/Novl for these gorgeous books! I am giving away a copy of Vicarious and Ferocious HERE.


From NetGalley:



YAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSS! I have been waiting for this book and it is on my Kindle! Thank you, Forever Romance!


Reviews from this week:

    


That was my week and books! I was surprised with a ton of review copies, and the excitement never gets old. I also bought a beautiful hardcover book for a friend who is a hardcore collector of the series but lives in Canada (so it's a little difficult to get this particular book). And I went to my first baseball game! I've lived in Baltimore (city or county) my entire life and had never gone to an O's game.



Check out my new posts on Instagram! Here is one of my favorites:

  3. Love all the books you got. I can't wait to read Before She Ignites. I'm not a big baseball can but I bet it's fun live. I'm more a football 🏈 kind of girl.

    1. It sounds like it'll be a good book! I'm definitely more of a football girl as well. But the baseball game was a fantastic experience!

  4. Ayyyy Duke of Desire! I hope it's awesome. I've heard great things about Finnikin of the Rock -- one day I'm going to read that series, too.

    1. Sometimes I ask myself the same thing! Requesting and being consistent, if I had to give a succinct answer. Thank you!

    1. Gosh, it feels like it! And thank you, I did! I definitely want to go back again. It was so much fun. :D

  9. Such pretty ARCs! I confess most of these are new to me but I always love to learn about new YA. I did get a copy of that Wonder Woman book in audio to review though! Leigh Bardugo doing superhero tie-ins, this should be very interesting.

    1. To be honest, most of the Harper books were new to me until recently! Some of them sounds AMAZING. Well, they all do. I'm excited about Wonder Woman: Warbringer! The DC Icons series sounds so great. Happy listening, Mogsy!

  10. Ooh Ever the Brave. Love those covers! And Ferocious too- I read Vicarious but haven't gotten to Ferocious yet.

    1. I loved Vicarious! Sadly I didn't love Ferocious like I did the previous book but it was a good read. You should enter my giveaway of both novels!

  11. I am SO. JEALOUS. that you got A Poison Dark and Drowning! It's one of my most anticipated reads of the year. I've wanted to read Ever the Hunted and Vengeance Road for a while. Hope you enjoy all your great new additions!

    1. It was a lot! I am looking forward to reading POISON as well. I can't imagine how we will survive the wait for book three. :D Thank you, Rekha!

      Delete
    2. I know! As soon as I finished book one, I regretted reading it so early. I hope there isn't some huge mind blowing cliffhanger at the end of POISON. *fingers crossed*

  14. Ooh you got so many great books this week! One Dark Throne is one I'm really anticipating. I read Three Dark Crowns this summer and enjoyed it so I'm dying to know what happens next. Happy reading and have a great week, Alyssa! :)

    1. You know, of all of these books, that one is probably the one I'm least excited about. I hated Three Dark Crowns! I *might* still try this sequel though. Might! For curiosity's sake.

      Thank you, Lauren! Same to you!

  15. Wow, what a great haul!! I'm especially excited to see what you think of Wonder Woman: Warbringer; that's one of my most anticipated reads this year but I haven't read many reviews about it yet.

    Also, yay! So happy to see you on instagram :) That post is beautiful!

    Glad you had a good week, Alyssa! Awesome post :)
